_ A large ditch on Bartlett and Coun?
cil Streets has been cleaned out recent?
ly and a great mass of mud and de?
cayed vegetable matter thrown out into
the street. This mass of mud is lying
exposed to the hot sun and the conse?
quences of this violation of sanitary
laws cannot be anything save harmful
to the health of the residents of that
section of the city. Disinfectants
have probably been used in these
ditches but it is a question whether
sufficient disinfectants could be used
to render harmless such a large qaun
tity of fever breeding matter. This
is not the proper time of year for ditch
cleninng ina thickly built up town
and it is difficult to imagine a condi?
tion of affairs so urgent as to render it
absolutely necessary for these ditches
to be cleaned out in the month of June.

WHY THE DITCH WAS OPENED.
Explanation Made by Health Officer
Reardon.
Y'our article disapproving the digging
and cleaning ont of ditches on Bart?
lette and Council streets, necessitates
an explanation in behalf of City Coun?
cil and Board of Health. The under?
ground wooden drains in Bartlette and
Council streets leading to main outlet
at Cemetery Ave. and Graham street
were rotten and stopped up, and there
were several caves in the line of
drains. These two drains carried the
surface and underground drainage
from Washington, Sumter, Bartlette,
Dugan and Council Streets and from
the Graded school basements. These
drains were not only too small but be?
ing obstructed banked up the water
during the excessive rainy spell, in
the yards of a large number of citizens
and flooded the streets and surface
drains with foul smelling and stag?
nant water and mud and other refuse,
and also flooding portions of Graded
school basement. Complaints were
made to Health Officer and Superin?
tendent of Streets, L. E. White, who
tried to relieve the situation, but with?
out success, and I disinfected the
drains and streets, but it was raining
almost constantly and the sanitary
condition became a serious menace to
the public health. Dr. J. A. Mood a
resident of that section, concurred with
me in the belief that while there was
some danger of fever in opening up
and cleaning the ditch at this season
of the year, that there was, however,
much more harm in letting the stag?
nant and offensive water and refuse
remain for an indefinite time over
such a large and thickly settled por?
tion of the city. So I requested Supt.
of Streets to open up and take out
defective drains and let the water off
with the result that sanitary conditions
in that section are much improved.
There were several cases of fever in
that immediate section before that
work was started, but no new cases
have developed since. Every shovel
full of dirt was disinfected before and
after it was thrown out, as was the
entire line of ditches, and each day all
of the excavated earth was saturated
with a powerful deodorizer and germi?
cide several times.
I was present during most of the
work and took all sanitary precautions
possible. The City Council and Board
of Health do not usually permit exca?
vating of this kind of earth during
June, July, August and September,
except in cases of emergency like the
present, when it is necessary to choose
between two evils-a temporary risk
by excavation or a continued source of
infection. The Graded school base?
ment was water soaked in consequence
of this obtruction in the drain in
Wallington and Bartlette Street, but
I disinfected the basement and the
water has also drained off since.

NEWS FROM BISHOPVILLE.
Bishopville, June 24.-We can
chronicle rain, occasionally we miss it
24 hours. It takes men of valor to
face this crisis, which is now upon ag?

will surrender, but the bottom will
not be allowed to drop out, too much
revolutionary vitality is in us yet to
allow that. We are weakening,
though, year by year and none there
are to encourage us, no one solely and
only striving for the betterment of the
fanners.

CROPS AROUND"HAGOOD.
Hagood, June 24.-Here it is the 24th
of June and some people are not yet
through chopping cotton. Who would
have thought it? No wonder the farm?
ers are gloomy. I hear that some are
returning their stock to the mer?
chants. The other day I took a trip
around the country and saw plenty of
grass, and small cotton. Mr. W. J.
Young of Remberts had the best cot?
ton crop, W. J. McLeod the best corn
I saw. If the outlook for a cotton
crop in other places is like that of
Sumter County it is a poor prospect. I
hope no fellow, who wants to make a
1 'good pull" on his lien, will blame
me for the above.
Optimists and pessimists have their
use. I was in company with one of
the former the other day, and feeling
very blue when he said. "Some years
ago I was farming in Marlboro coun?
ty, and things were looking just as
gloomy as now, but : I harvested one
of the finest crops I ever made." This
man is a fine farmer. There is no
use to "cross the bridge before you get
to it." Let us do good and trust in
God and all will come out right. By
far the greater amount of people's
troubles are the creatures of their
own imaginations. A fellow said his
hair stood on end one night, and his
heart was in his mouth when he saw
a huge grisly form in the path just
before him. Almost paralyzed with
fear he went up to it. for he could
not turn back, when he found only a
bush. Plenty of people have vivid
imaginations that they see ghosts in
the day time, great, frightful fellows
that are too discouraging. The "Wise
Man" tells us the sluggard says a
lion is in the way : we laugh at him
and say it is his laziness.
What is our lion? Not laziness may?
be, but no more real than his. "Donot
cross the bridge before you get to it,"
it will not help you, but unfit youv for
duty for life, and steal away the pre?
sent happiness. God is over all.
Much sickness in the community.

which sought the life of Ike Williams,

cised by every good citizen of I Carroll

Montgomery, Ala., June 22.-The
Constitutional convention today com?
pleted the article on executive office.
The most interest during the day
attached to the section providing that
when a sheriff allows a prisoner to be
taken from his custody and lynched
the governor shall immediately in?
stitute impeachment proceedings
against the officer, and he shall be
suspended from office during his trial.
The plea was made that as the con?
vention was about to take from the
negro the right of voting, the State
should show to the world that he
would be protected by the law. The
section passed.
